Where y'at?

Hey RoverBabe what part of LA are you in? I'm in Metairie.

(1) They get anywhere from 13-19 mpg, which works out (for me) to about 320 miles per tank (23 gal. gas tank)

(2) They are not top heavy trucks. They are tall, relatively short wheel-based vehicles with flexy springs from the factory. They are top heavy compared to cars, but all SUVs are. These (Discos, I mean) are 6000 pound trucks with most of the upper half (i.e., above the hood line) constituted of glass.

As for the football, I'll let you ladies argue over these flash-in-the-pan programs

Land Rover's need brake pads every 25K-30K miles. Which can average out @ your local tire store to be around 200.00--500.00 (or a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes ). Depending on who you go to. Unless you can change your own then that is about 49.99 and 2 hours labor. If you do not drive much than that is great. No need for pads. If I were to give any female advice on a LR get a warranty (just search thru and find some of my posts --Like Big Trouble) . Good Luck I hope you find the LR of your dreams !!

As far as the football goes we (OU) were simply tired of being # 1 . Its lonely @ the top ...
Best,

P.S. HEY MOOSE .. FLash in the Pan ???

LOL -- I was talking more about LSU, although....

OU was great in the 40's and 50's, then again in the 80's, and for the past couple of years. They're not exactly the Fighting Irish (one bad season notwithstanding), though.

Lauren - at 18 there are 2 things to remember then :
- discos are known to be guys magnet (as oppose to other vehicles)
- its bloody heavy thingy to drive, so watch them corners

Seriously though - for California, if you think of Rover (either RR or D) to be your daily driver - think twice. Unfortunately they arent very easy on petrol, so if you drive few hours a day - it would be comfy drive, but pricey.

Gas prices down here in Baton Rouge/ New Orleans are around 1.77 for low end gas. What does the Rovers call for?

Not sure on the D1's, but the D2's and RR's call for premium unleaded gasoline. What it really comes down to is that you can run on the lowest grade gas as long as it is not making your engine knock.

Personally, I run 91 octane (the highest grade we have here in Utah).

I found 93 Octane .. The Rover has ran much better since I switched from 89 to 93. Of course, it runs about 1.98 per gallon.
Moose you forgot to add the 70's too ... "Switzer Time"

1.98 a GALLON!!! I am paying 2.11 for 87 crap at COSTCO!

 

[bhodisatva]

You guys think you got it tough, try paying £4.00 - £5.00 per gallon.

 

[RoverBabe]

Thanks everyone.

Well LA for me is Louisiana, and today i put 93 octane in my b/fs car today (only $1.94) yippie!

and this is the reason for wanting a serious SUV.
